Cream Cream Exclusive: Name That Drug!
Posted by Tracy Moore on Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 4:00 PM
OK, so this isn't really about music, but it is if you look at music in the larger cultural context in which it occurs. And by that I mean people who play music and listen to music a lot are usually big pothead alcoholics. Or at least you're friends with a cokehead. But I don't want to generalize or anything.
So here's the game: I tell you some side effects of a drug, and you tell me what it is. This one's pulled from actual local headlines, and unfortunately it's a tough one.
"Teens Take Mysterious Drug at Fair; Teens Found on Verge of Passing out"
Yep. That's it. That's all they know. Some teens took a drug, and then they were nearly unconscious. Authorities are waiting on lab results.
Come on, Cream readers, let's save these folks expensive lab costs. My money's on roofies. Wait, can people still get their hands on that stuff?

Perhaps GHB. Or Ketamine. But these kids were at a fair...a fair in Columbia. This makes it significantly more likely that they were just huffing wood glue.
Or it could be Totally Awesome Sweet Alabama Liquid Snake.
I'm going to put my money on DMX or ketamine...or possibly some random perscription abuse. Kids are silly.
I am from Columbia and it is the Mule capital of the world so it was probably mule urine.
I just need to say...I hadn't heard of jenkem until HighonLife's comment, so I wiki'd it. That is some unsettling shit.
white lotus, yam-yam, shanghai sally...I too once fell under the spell of opium. It was 1979. I was travelling the Yangtzee in search of a Mongolian horsehair vest
im guessing some sort of inhalant. aerosol computer duster or some similar white trash shit.
I'm with Doug. Liquor.. hopefully Moonshine in respect to the Maury County Fair.
DMX? Do you mean DMT? Because that would be consistant, although hard to get out there in Boonieland. Or maybe you mean dextromethoriphan which is even more likely for some kids.
Hang onto your brain cells kids. You'll need them when you have to get a real job!
When I was in college, I was up all night on DMX. My downstairs neighbor wouldn't stop playing "Up In Here".
the last time i was at the fair, i had one of those monstrous turkey legs, and i didn't lose consciousness, but i had to sprint to the bathroom at the fair...my girlfriend at the time did not like that...nor did she like having to pay for everything...we broke up...i'm sure it wasn't turkey legs, though...that these kids had...
